Parent article: A new package index for Python

Folks reading this might be able to help me with two questions:

1. What ought to be explained or listed on the PyPI help (FAQ) page that isn't there right now? I used to be able to see that with fresh eyes, but now know too much about Python packaging, PyPI's history and context, and so on.

2. Are there other trends and policies in Python packaging and distribution that you'd like explained, either here in LWN or in the official Python packaging guide or elsewhere? Some past LWN coverage:

For instance, pip 10 is probably coming out tomorrow and carries an upgrade strategy change.

Update to the FAQ needed: now that PEP 541 has been accepted, "How do I claim an abandoned or previously registered project name?" should be updated (I'd guess people are already working on it, but just in case it slipped by...)

Thanks. Proposed a fix.
